Day 54: Lunch

Jan 25, 2011 01:07

All things considered, last shift had been pretty low key. After this morning's disaster, though, that was perfectly fine by Claude. Some fresh air and a chance to make sure Guy and Okita were all right weren't things to take for granted. It was also good to have a fairly normal, conversation with Guy that didn't slip off into awkward territory ( Read more... )

Ugh, he felt terrible. It had been sort of worth it, getting sedated and completely zoning out for a whole shift, if only to watch Gant go down with him, but at the same time, Niikura knew he'd acted way more quickly than he usually did. It was probably a combination of things: him getting stuck here right when Akumetsu was hitting its end game, doing almost nothing for a week or so, trying fruitlessly to get more information about Japan, dealing with other worlds, dealing with other dimensions, dealing with Badd...maybe Gant had just shown up at the wrong time. Hadn't he planned to go talk to Lana first last night?

In the end, he could be only human too, which was alright - because he was human. And he hadn't been wrong about Gant, either: he'd found out the truth, even if he'd verified it after the fact, and stuck it to the man. If only he'd had his mask, then things would've gone much more smoothly. Nothing like starting a morning with getting your head blown off.

...gross. Did drugs always make him this reflective and somber? Niikura pulled a face and stared at the plate that his nurse had kindly gotten for him. Right. Eating. He picked up a piece of fish and took a bite out of it, chewing slowly while trying to recall the entirety of the announcement that he might or might not have listened to at all. Something about not making progress and reviewing procedures - which, as far as Niikura was concerned, had been nothing more than a slap on the wrist. No, the real question was what Landel was going to do at night or what the Eagle was going to do...wow, he'd been chewing the same bite this whole time.

Swallowing, Niikura looked down at his plate again and realized that, for totally understandable reasons, he wasn't going to be eating three times his body weight this time around.
